Nicholas Cage in something completely different...
Now, what I initially thought was going to be a Nic Cage surfer-revenge pic a-la "John Wick" or a million other-some-such.
Was I wrong. A completely surreal - well, how to describe it? And I don't care to give the plot away - but the camera, the shimmering heat, Nicholas Cages (and other's) eyebrows given an absurd focus, the twists and turns - I did not see that coming.
And the meta - for fear of giving it away - I'll put beneath the "read more" link.
Not an enjoyable or easy watch - but absolutely brilliant.
Sketch Comedy at the Capitol

So, slight hopes for this - some sketches delivered, some completely over my head.
But the audience at these events, always good, supportive, a full house, and that's a good thing. The Co-op radio bit, the magic bit, a couple of others were amusing, a few others, less so, but overall I'm not a good judge of these things - "Sketch Comedy" - even the bits I've seen on CBC which are presumably professional and of a higher bar than most, oft fails to amuse me. A matter of taste.
I did notice, however, a fair overlap in the players and the new YouTube serial "Southern Interior" - same writers and cast.

This, a locally produced sketch-comedy about Nelson.
In the spirit of "Local" I'm going to refuse to review it, it is, however, good to see what's up and recognize all the actors.
And a congested chest and trip to the dentist

This morning, up early, trip to the dentist and I'm winded. My chest heavy and I'm coughing up sputum and I'm wondering if the Pneumonia really did go away.
It could be allergies, though, and so that's the thinking I use to get through the day.
The dentist, 2 hours in the chair, cleaning, fluoride, etc, when they tip me back up past level it takes me a few minutes to gain my equilibrium. The dentist, drills, jets, it's all a zen activity in being somewhere else, just checked out enough I don't know what's happening...
The rest of the day, tired, winded with trifling activities and it feels as if my blood has congealed to molasses. But evening and I'm a little better, time to give up on the latest movies/miniseries, mostly if not largely all shit, and get back to my books. Better company there by far.
